Gaming Build , help please.

[Marik1]

Hi all,first of all sry for my english.
I want to build high/ultra gaming PC,my resolution 1680x1050.I have very limited budget so I picked these components:
-MSI GTX 970
-i5 4460
-MSI Z97 PC MATE
-Fractal Design Integra M 550W or be quiet! Pure Power L8 600W
-any kit of 2x4gb ram
-Aerocool X1 case
So my questions:
1)Is 4460 is not too weak in current build and for current gpu?It wont cause any troubles in gaming in nearly future?
2)Im not sure motherboard and PSU are the best possible choice for that amount of money if u have in mind something better please write.
3)In general by your subjective point of view, how long current build can handle 1680x1050 high/ultra specs ?

whats is ur budget? 550w will do the work
at this reso its will survive long time 3-4

1) No, the 4460 is a great CPU and is great value for the money.
2a) Motherboard is ok, but there is no need to go for a Z97 chipset. H97 will suffice. Maybe look at mATX size boards as they can be sometimes cheaper.
2b) PSU could be a little better quality, you have the right wattage though, 500-550W. These are great: https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/antec-power-supply-hcg520m%2Cseasonic-power-supply-s12ii520bronze%2Cxfx-power-supply-p1550bbefx%2Cxfx-power-supply-p1550gts3x/
3) How long @ high/ultra? a difficult question that there ins't really a black and white answer for. It will certainly give you great playable fps for the next couple of years for sure. The 970 has great performance for the money, it will serve you well and you will be very happy with it. 😀

What country do you live? and what is the budget?

The components you listed are enough for a good build, Concerning the PSU look here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html Tier 1 or 2 are recommended for a gaming machine. It will also give you reference if you need to find out the quality of a unit.

All in all, the CPU/GPU combination are great and will perform well. You will be happy

All parts are great, but the PSU needs changed, those Zalmans don't have a great history. A lot seem to die within the first 2-3 years.

From the very limited power supplies on the website, choose either:
Seasonic SSP-550
Fractal Design Edison M
Be Quiet! Straight power 10

If you cannot afford those, go for either:
Be Quiet! Pure power L8
Fractal Design Integra M

The others are all of poor quality and are not advised.

Ok,THX,and what about case?I want cheap,but good case so in the far future I can stay on that case and do serious upgrade

The case is really up to you, if you want a good quality that will last you a few years upgrades then make sure its has room for radiators, extra drive bays and such anything that you might want in the future. Another thing people don't immediately think of is if a case will be easy to work on! (standard ATX layout are great) but if you buy something like a *cough BitFenix Prodigy cough* They are an utter pain swap to parts out and tinker with. Have a look here: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ this site has a massive selection on one website. pick a few to compare a do some reading. you will find one you love soon enough 😀
